One can create fillable forms and comments with different packages
like hyperref or cooltooltip packages but one cannot save them with
Adobe Reader. Adobe Acrobat can edit to a certain degree pdf files
(unless protected) and save them and enable editing in AR. AFAIK no
third party application can enable editing in AR - there was some hack
but AFAIK Adobe changed format and simultaneously dropped a ton of
bricks on the author' head

Some other programs can edit pdf files (again to a certain degree) and
some of them do not honor protection.

HTH - if I understand your question correctly
